More Kind Words

"
In December we recruited our first salaried employee, which was a hugely motivating experience for me.
Prior to this, I worked with Alison to ensure that when any employee starts with us, they are going to flourish and we did this in 3 parts by;
1. Documenting our company values so that all of our team members clearly understand and work to the same standards that we have always worked to.
2. Compiling a detailed job description with complete clarity on expectations.
3. Completed a competency framework which links both the job description and our company values
I have always wanted any new member of staff to come to work feeling proud of Make Me Local and a key way to do this is making sure that they have a clear understanding of their job but to also be committed to the same morals and ethics that we hold.
Having completed these 3 projects with Alison, and now having implemented them with my new employee, I can say how delighted I am with the result.
Even though we are a small company, I know that my team are working in an environment that many blue-chip companies could only wish for and there is no way that I could have done this on my own.
Thank you Alison, you and your team have been amazing through this project and have given me the foundations to now take my company to the next level.
Yours sincerely,"

"Whilst being a long established and effective small charity, ChildAid needs to be, and is, run in the same manner as any business – with constant review and upgrading of its financial disciplines, strategic planning and programmes for growth and diversity in its marketing.
We are now coming to the close of a year long business mentoring programme run by Alison at Evolve & Grow where we have sat alongside 3 other small businesses. This has proven to be a very effective and informative process where we have all shared our ongoing blockages to growth and development and bouncing ideas off each other.
Most importantly we have been led by Alison who has openly shared a wide range of ideas and strategies to prompt us into how to overcome specific bottlenecks in our businesses and to move us forward operationally, strategically and financially.
I am indebted to Alison for her enthusiasm and expertise and highly recommend her as a business coach who can make your business evolve and grow"

CHARITABLE PROJECTS
